    Deadly State of Mind actor
    The victim in this episode also played the would-be father-in-law in the movie Arthur. He was equally terrifying in that movie!

    Appears to be a show about snacks
    I thought this was a Colombo podcast but I’m almost 5 minutes into it and they’re still talking about snacks. Vegan snacks and carrot juice. I feel like I have the wrong podcast maybe. I’m looking for a podcast about the television program Colombo.

    Paul & Liz Are Good Company
    I’m working my way through these delightful podcasts. My favorites of the Columbo crop. Paul and Liz have a charming sibling rapport and bring warm conversation and real insight as they “wander” with Columbo. I appreciate the way they thoughtfully research each episode, and even though I’m a long-time fan I’m grateful for the discoveries I’ve made along with them. Their thematic snacks and drinks are just plain fun. Bravo, you guys!

    Has its place, but mostly uninteresting.
    Big Columbo fan, here. I watched it when it was new. I’ve seen every episode many times. I adore Peter Falk’s iconic character. I also dislike all other network episodic TV from that era. Columbo is a diamond in a trash heap. I’ve tried to listen to several episodes of this podcast, and can never finish one. The male host does much research about cast members, what else the appeared in, etc. There’s some talk about the sets. At some point far in, they bring up the plot. They are unfortunately boring, insipid and get much wrong about the era. Lots of guesswork. They have no chemistry. Tip: if you don’t know the meaning of a word, or a historical reference, look it up, instead of making dumb guesses. Not recommended.

    Yes
    Just found this pod by accident through Instagram, finally I can hear people talk about my favorite detective show!
  • Spirit of Seven
    Dynamic Duo
    This brother and sister break down one of the greatest shows TV history. A “dynamo duo” breaking down Columbo in such a beautiful way.

    A model for aspiring podcasters
    It would take an essay to go through all the factors that make this such a charming and high quality podcast. What the speakers bring to the conversation totally justifies the runtime of each episode. It’s a relaxing but informative listen that will enhance one’s enjoyment not only of Columbo but of all tv and film.

    Good fun!
    Good podcast to continue the enjoyment of rewatching Columbo. Fun discussions and conversation.

    Nice addition among the Columbo podcasts!
    I recently discovered this podcast; and like a fine wine, it gets better with every sip. Liz & Paul discuss their review of Columbo episodes in a manner that I could see doing if I could get my close friends to become interested in Columbo. Unfortunately, I’ve not had much luck convincing friends to get onto the Lieutenant bandwagon, but sitting back and listening to this sibling duo is the next best thing! I appreciate that they share food and drink every episode. They both offer interesting insight. Paul discusses a lot of behind the scenes information about writers, actors of the show; and Liz discusses other neat observations of each scene from wardrobe to set design and sharing her passionate curiosity about the way certain moments play out on the program.

    Engaging and Interesting
    Really enjoying this soothing podcast about our beloved classic. Especially like the types of details the hosts pick up on, and how they engage with different components of these little films. Please keep em’ coming!

    This is the Best!
    I’d rate it 10 stars if I could. The sister and brother combination of hosts is so perfect. They don’t argue, they don’t get drunk like some other hosts, they don’t talk over each other and they don’t laugh incessantly. Perfect for me. They actually talk about the episode you tuned in to hear about! I love the descriptions of the characters’ clothes and the information about the locations where the episode takes place. Love the extra info about some editors or crew members. It’s all so fun and enjoyable. Oh, and they have a drink and snack, following what the episode mentions it’s characters have eaten/sipped on. Totally the way a podcast should be! Thank you both.

    Keeping Columbo in the spotlight
    Okay, I admit, I'm one of the two hosts :), but this show is a fun way to dive into classic Columbo episodes, one at a time. We talk about the awesome costumes & sets, the acting, and what makes Columbo such a classic show that's still popular today. So check it out if you're a Columbo fan or just like classic TV :).
